NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The strike of the
freight handlers in New York is assuming
large proportions. The Boston and Proyi-
dence line of steamers have discontinued
their trips. it is said,t allow the boats to be
repaired, but it is generally believed they
have been unable to obtain requisite sup
plies of coal. The strike seems to be ex-
tending, and it is thought the freight hand.
lers employed by all the railroads centreng
on the New Jersey shore will eventually
quit work Efforts, it is said, are being
made by the strikers to get the iremen and
engineers of the ferry lines to join them.
The blow to commerce is being severely
felt not only hero but in various manufac.
turing districts of Massachusetts and other
elsewhere numbers have been discharged
from the mills because of the falling off in
he coal supply.

POVERTY IN WAsEINGToN.-There is g

an Office either at home or abroad and some
have claims which, if allowed, would make
them wealthy, but all wait, and il has been
truthfully said that they are getting
broker" and broker" every day. They
sleep in cheap lodgings, eat where it is con-
venient and drink every time they are ask
ed. They are good fellows for the most part
and they were once respectable citizens at
home, but they are stuck fast in Washing
ton and cannot get away. They bear q
worn and anxious cast of face and only
smile, rs stated above, when invited. Po-
litical cripples they are, waiting for the

be long time before their wants are grant.
